Kingsway

Kingsway is a major road in central London, England, running from High Holborn in Camden Town in the north to Bush House in Westminster in the south. It was purpose-built as a part of a major redevelopment of the area in the 1900s, clearing away a small maze of streets and the surrounding slum dwellings (as well as the Sardinian embassy chapel). The road was built from 1898 to 1905, and it is 100 feet wide, making it one of the broadest streets in London. It was named in honor of King Edward VII of Britain, who opened the street, and a tramway tunnel ran below it.
